GM India to extend production at Halol plant

New Delhi, June 23 (IANS) Automobile manufacturer GM India on Thursday said it will extend production at its Halol assembly plant until March 2017, while it continues to review future options for the site.

The company further said that it plans to produce the upgraded Tavera at the Halol assembly plant.

According to GM India President and Managing Director Kaher Kazem, the move will provide more time to ensure an orderly transition for employees, suppliers and other stakeholders, as the company continues to work through options for the facility.

As part of its major overhaul plan in India, the US-based automobile manufacturer had announced last year that it will shut down its Halol assembly plant in Gujarat by the second half of 2016.
